Targus-owned Hyper on Sunday introduced HyperSpace Trackpad Pro, a high-end haptic trackpad for Windows. The company plans to add basic compatibility with macOS via a firmware update later this year.
Like the Magic Trackpad on a Mac and other precision trackpads on Windows laptops, the wireless HyperSpace Trackpad Pro supports multitouch gestures. However, Hyper’s trackpad software offers Windows users an advanced level of customization, with the ability to configure shortcuts in the corners of the trackpad. This includes general functions such as copy and paste, but also specific actions in applications such as Adobe Suite, Figma, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint.
For example, users can customize the bottom right corner of the trackpad to add a new slide in PowerPoint by clicking on it. Users can also create and assign their own gestures, assigning – in Hyper’s example – a two-finger deep click to enter presentation mode in PowerPoint.
Hyper also allows users to adjust haptic feedback and pressure sensitivity, adjust click force, and create customizable sound modes. Once complete, they can share these custom configurations or discover more through the Hyper Learning Cloud community.
The trackpad has other benefits besides customization. Hyper claims to have independent force sensing for up to 10 fingers, compared to Apple’s four. It also has a reporting rate of 240Hz, which should allow for great responsiveness and extremely smooth tracking. Finally, the trackpad can support multiple devices and comes with removable magnetic wrist rests.
The HyperSpace Trackpad Pro will arrive in the second quarter of 2025 and will cost $129.99, the same price as Apple’s Magic Trackpad.
